Adam McKay's Dick Cheney biopic snagged nominations for best comedy or musical, best actor for Christian Bale as the former vice president, best actress for Amy Adams as wife Lynne Cheney, and supporting actor for Sam Rockwell as President George W. Bush.

In the other major film categories, Lady Gaga ("A Star Is Born") faces off for best dramatic actress against Glenn Close ("The Wife"), Melissa McCarthy ("Can You Ever Forgive Me?"), Nicole Kidman ("Destroyer") and Rosamund Pike ("A Private War"). Gaga also was named in the original-song category for "Shallow," the catchy tune she co-wrote for "A Star Is Born."

In the field for best dramatic actor, Bradley Cooper ("A Star Is Born") takes on Rami Malek ("Bohemian Rhapsody"), Lucas Hedges ("Boy Erased"), John David Washington ("BlacKkKlansman") and Willem Dafoe ("At Eternity's Gate"). Cooper, a first-time director for "A Star Is Born," picked up a best-director nomination as well.

Adams, who also nabbed a TV drama actress nomination for HBO's "Sharp Objects," is up for best supporting actress in a category that also includes Claire Foy ("First Man"), Regina King ("If Beale Street Could Talk") and "The Favourite" co-stars Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz.

McKay was a double nominee for "Vice." He's in the best-director category along with Cooper, Alfonso Cuaron ("Roma"), Peter Farrelly ("Green Book") and Spike Lee ("BlacKkKlansman"). And McKay's "Vice" script is up for best screenplay alongside "If Beale Street Could Talk," "Green Book," "The Favourite" and "Roma."
